Soci 1001 e03 roxana jahani 101006778 week 9 study notes (march 16, 2018) Visible minorities: persons, other than aboriginal populations, who are non-caucasian in race or non-white in color. 96% of visible minorities live in cities (vancouver, toronto, montreal). Canada has become a much more racially/ethnically visible country over the 20th and 21st centuries. Settler societies: those historically based on colonization through foreign settlement and displacement of aboriginal inhabitants, so immigration is the major influence on population diversity (ex. Race: superficial physical differences that a particular society considers significant. Racialization: the social process by which certain groups are marked for unequal treatment based on perceived physiological differences. Ethnicity: a term that describes shared culture whether that is shared language, religion, and traditions, among other commonalities (ex. Ethnic groups like serbian, italian american, and irish as white vs. black, white, asian and more as british).
